Chapter 312 New Umbrella (Part 2)

"So, you mean, let me hold this broken umbrella and believe that it can expel the curse in my body?"

Constantine looked at Schiller's old umbrella on the table, then looked up at Schiller and said, "Even if you are not satisfied with the story I told, you don't have to treat me as a fool, right?"

"I am not dissatisfied with the story you want." Schiller shook his head and said, "Although it is not very exciting, it is better than nothing."

Schiller was telling the truth. That day, Constantine revealed his entire plan to Batman and Schiller.

As expected, in the last version of the story, he still did not tell the truth in one part, that is, the part about Mrs. Sanchez.

"The magic circle in Cooper's room was indeed used by the ghost mother to sacrifice the soul of the child, but we played a trick and tricked the devil."

"At that time, not only Cooper and I were present, but also Laurena. At that time, she was pregnant with a child in her belly. She drew a magic circle to sacrifice the child's soul to the devil, and then activated it, using the child in her belly as bait to attract the devil."

"When the devil came here, Laurena and I asked him to pay the bill first before we could offer the sacrifice. This method is actually very common in transactions with demons. Some demons will even give you power first and then collect the bill..."

" The demon agreed, and the condition we proposed was that he should kill Cooper and eat his soul. In an instant, the demon's power made Cooper's body cover the entire room. However, what the demon didn't know was that I had drawn another magic circle, and the object of sacrifice was Cooper. "

"The demon attracted by my other magic circle saw that his sacrifice was killed by other demons, so the two of them fought. In the end, the demon attracted by the ghost mother was defeated by the demon attracted by me. He was killed and turned into a pile of ashes. "

Schiller and Batman looked at each other and thought of the pile of ashes they saw in the middle of the magic circle at that time.

"And the demon I attracted didn't give me any power, nor did he eat the sacrifice. The deal didn't even start, so he cursed me and went back to hell."

"Why did Cooper's body lose one-third of its mass?"

"I used it to make a clone. The gray clone was not made by the demon, but by myself. However, it requires some... materials, so I used local materials..."

"Okay, then what happened? Why did Mrs. Sanchez become a demon?"

"That's because we had a little experience afterwards. "It's just a small disagreement." Constantine sighed and said, "I said before that Laurena really wants to leave the dark priest and Gotham, but she is not willing to leave the house empty-handed."

"Before, she had already made deals with many children with candy and controlled their souls. She wanted to sacrifice all these souls to the devil in one go, exchange these souls for power, and then leave Gotham with these powers."

"This is commonplace in the eyes of black magicians. Because of an accident, I also became a vicious black magician in their eyes. Therefore, when Laurena and her lover discussed this matter, They didn't hide anything from me. I heard all their plans. "…

"For this, I fell out with them, but it was indeed my contribution that Laurenna became a demon."

"As you saw before, we fought in the room. His lover was a half-baked man. He was burned before I could really do anything."

"Laurena knew she was no match for me, so she wanted to run to the altar. She went to the altar to sacrifice the souls of those children in exchange for more powerful power."

"I said before that I have many acquaintances in hell. I took advantage of the opportunity. While Laurena was running to the altar, I drew a new magic circle and summoned a demon. I asked him to be the first to respond to Laurena's call and inject the demon's power into her body, turning her into a half-demon..."

"So, when Laurena activated the altar, the first one to respond to her was the demon I had traded with, and the price I offered was obviously much higher than Laurena's. The demon completed my deal first and turned Laurena into a demon. You all know what happened later..."

"What price did you offer?" Batman asked.

"It's very simple. I promised that after I die, he will get my soul. You know, I am dying because of the curse of my biological brother. The devil also saw this. He couldn't wait to get my soul, so he went to complete my request without stopping." Schiller shook his head and said, "Is the devil from outside? Doesn't he know about your bad behavior of selling the same product to multiple buyers?" "He knows, but he saw that I was dying. He was betting that he would be the last devil to complete the deal with me. In this way, he would have a better chance of winning over my soul." "So, you are still a good person and saved all the children in Gotham?" Schiller asked Constantine, but Constantine shook his head and said, "I'm not that noble, but I know that Laurenna's plan will not succeed."

"That mysterious dark priest can't let her extract the souls of all the children. If that happens, Gotham will be finished. They won't allow it."

"Dark Owl Priest..." Batman muttered the name.

"Dark Owl Priest?" Constantine looked at the broken umbrella on the table and asked in confusion: "You mean, this umbrella was made by those priests?"

"As far as I know, the rich people in the Court of Owls definitely don't have the ability to make such an umbrella. We have verified before that a special metal is added to the umbrella, which can resist Gotham's special rain and has special resistance to magic."

Constantine picked up the umbrella hesitantly. He stroked the metal on it and felt some unusual power, but he still said: "But even so, it should not be able to remove the curse..."

"How strong a weapon is depends mainly on who uses it."

Schiller took out a new umbrella from under the table. He moved his hand down from the handle of the umbrella and grabbed the umbrella body. Before Constantine could put down the broken umbrella, he saw Schiller's action and suddenly had a bad premonition. He said: "Hey, wait!"

With a "bang", Constantine was knocked to the ground by Schiller again. …

If this action is slowed down many times, at the moment when the handle of the umbrella touched Constantine's chin, a wisp of imperceptible gray mist entered Constantine's body.

This thin gray mist almost instantly explored Constantine's body and soul, and then, in a corner, it wrapped a fetus-shaped black curse.

Just as the gray mist wrapped the curse, the curse began to resist fiercely, but the metallic luster of the umbrella in Constantine's hand flashed, and the black curse paused for a moment.

At this moment, Schiller's umbrella hit Constantine's chin. The metallic luster on the new umbrella was stronger. With a "bang", the gray mist and the curse were knocked out of Constantine's body.

Schiller's figure disappeared instantly and appeared behind Constantine, then he pinched the gray mist wrapped in the curse with his hand, and more gray mist surged out from his hands, wrapping the curse layer by layer.

Then, when Constantine fell to the ground, he looked up and saw Schiller squatting down, holding a gray ball in his hand and shaking it over his head.

Constantine turned over, then got up from the ground, rubbed his chin, and looked at the gray sphere in Schiller's hand. Schiller asked him: "What are you going to do with it?"

Constantine shook his head and said: "This is not an ordinary curse. As long as I touch it, it will be like a thorn in my flesh..."

"Theoretically, nothing I can get can trap it, otherwise I would have gotten it out long ago, but..."

Constantine turned his head and looked at Schiller's umbrella. He said: "Since the metal in this umbrella can expel it, it means that this metal can affect it, so perhaps this umbrella can become a container to hold it."

"Really?" Schiller also turned around and looked back at his umbrella. He removed the umbrella handle to reveal the hollow metal tube inside, and then squeezed the gray ball in his other hand smaller and smaller, like a magic trick, and stuffed the small ball into the umbrella tube.

After fixing the umbrella handle, wisps of gray mist dispersed from the umbrella tube and returned to Schiller's body, while the cursed fetus was left in the umbrella tube made of special metal.

Schiller looked at his umbrella and found that its appearance had not changed at all. The cursed fetus seemed to be trapped in the umbrella and did not provide any benefits to the umbrella.

But suddenly, Schiller seemed to have thought of something. He slid his hand down from the umbrella handle, grabbed the middle part of the umbrella, and then turned around and stared at Constantine with ill intentions.

Constantine stretched out his hand and said, "Wait, what do you want to do? Don't come over!!"

Constantine was prepared this time. He waved his hand, and a black book appeared in his hand, followed by an invisible stand, and a transparent magic shield protected his whole body.

Schiller waved the umbrella without thinking, and with a slash, Constantine flew to the wall, and the magic shield was scattered all over the ground like broken ice. …

Schiller withdrew his hand with satisfaction, and even stroked the umbrella with his hand, saying: "You will be a good brother."

Constantine got up from the ground, coughed twice, and said: "What's the matter? My magic shield..."

"Didn't I say it before? The metal used in this umbrella has a restraining effect on magic. Of course, this should be only part of the reason. More importantly, your brother seems very dissatisfied with you..."

"Damn brother, he was not even born!"

"Then he is also your brother." Schiller knocked the umbrella in his hand twice and said: "Although it has become my umbrella spirit now, maybe one day, it will grow up and beat you up with its own hands."

"You know what? Constantine, originally, I had no interest in mysticism..." Schiller walked to the back of the table and sat down. He said, "The abilities that look like magic that I have are not magic, and the source is different from yours."

"I also have no intention of studying how to trade with the devil in exchange for powerful power. I have no interest in those magic circles, spells, and magic items. But now, I have a topic that I am interested in. Can you guess what it is?"

Constantine had a bad premonition. He set his sights on Schiller's umbrella. He heard Schiller say: "

"The topic is, how to raise a curse... or, my new umbrella?"
